Look Honda CEO demands the new NSX to be faster than GTR - The Postgame Pub

2.2L EH2 · 06-30-2008, 01:59 PM

Honda's answer to the Nissan GT-R and Lexus LF A hit the ring earlier this week when our spies caught a black and white clad NSX prototype powering round the circuit. We had been questioning what kind of performance we can expect from Japan's newest supercar but now those questions have been answered after information has surfaced that Takeo f*kai, CEO of Honda demanded the development team build an NSX that is faster than both its Japanese rivals.
That would mean a lap time of at least 7 minutes 28 seconds would need to be achieved, that will certainly be a challenging task to undertake. Honda are going a little further upmarket than the GT-R with the package found under the hood with a front-mid mounted 5.5-liter V10 engine producing in the region of 550 ponies and 420 lb ft of torque.
Maximum efficiency for the engine will be achieved with a cylinder deactivation system when the car does not require all of its power such as at low speed. An eight-speed paddle-shifted automatic transmission is expected to pass the power to the wheels via a new version of Honda's Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system (SH-AWD).
The Honda/Acura NSX is still 2 years away but it will be interesting to see if they can once gain become Japan's ultimate supercar

Dude, if someone wants the car bad enough they aren't going to be thinking of the gas prices. Hell the gas prices don't really bother me and they have been up above $6 a gallon for me for the last 3 years. If someone can afford this car they can as surely afford the gas for it.

Building a car for the track or the end road user Joe Average?

It's really bothered me the last few years how the RING has become somewhat of the bench mark for a fast car. Sure the Ring is brutal and can test the limits of both machine and man, but it really doesn't mean shit to the end user. In the end it's all the driver which is more than likely not living anywhere near the ring and is unlikely to have driving skills like these factory hot shoes.

I'm sure I can hand Sabine Schmitz my lowly Mk III Jetta UGG Edition and she will properly had any of these Joe Average NSX customers their asses. Don't believe me go to You Tube and watch her spank people in a Ford Transit work van.
